iRobot Roomba 690
What is good?

- Dual multisurface central brushes: one to loosen dirt and the other to pick it up

Those automatic vacuums will suit your needs if you have not a very big apartment. They have all the necessary sensors such as cliff and anti-collision sensors. If you have the Google Home or Amazon Echo you can control those robovacs by voice. However, we would recommend Roomba 690 if you have mostly carpeting floors in your house.
